Fort Myers hit-and-run fatality leaves family searching for answers

A Fort Myers family is still searching for closure since their family member was killed in a hit-and-run accident on Christmas morning.

At a time when most families were celebrating the holidays, the family of Michael Sasen was trying to cope with his death in a Fort Myers hit-and-run accident.

Michael was walking along McGregor Boulevard when a vehicle hit him. The vehicle left the scene. No one has been charged in his death.
